VPN Server on a Win98 box

Hi All,

My work computer is a win98SE box. At home I am running winXP pro. Is
there a way to setup a VPN server on the win98 box?

thanks
chad

No. Windows 98, SE and Me cannot be a VPN host, only a client. You may
wish to consider http://www.realvnc.com/ to see if it meets your needs.

Win98 doesn't have it's own vpn server features so you will have to
load some third party software like wingate vpn

http://www.wingate.com/

Thanks,
James, have you used wingate vpn. I am trying to set it up, but it is not
working. I posted questions to their forums, but it appears it is a slow
site for updates.

I know of it, but I don't use it or know anything about it other than
what's written on their website. There will be others if you're not
happy with that one. Just search around a little. I can't give any
recommendation, sorry!


Jim.

Try the RealVNC software I posted a link to.

RealVNC works great if no one is using the computer at the office. But
occasionally someone is. They are generally not the smarts computer people,
so I know I will get phone calls saying that the computer is doing stuff all
by itself.

Hmmm, come to think of it, that might be quite funny
